A Matchrace is ONLY 0,5 nautical miles long and ONLY upwind and downwind.And it's not only for the fastest sailor, but tactics are also the startup for a good result!Two issues are important, the startline(84metres) must be good based(90degrees off breeze), the first buoy must be upwind situated.Second buoy is placed wright in front off startline.Hoping sailors can use this Forum-item together with Matchraces wich are used within SS5.Goodluck!Walter
